I know this plays into whether or not some groups of people can afford to see a doctor. Many forgo necessary care.


I hope you and Steve will go, if you haven't already. I am very sorry for all of the extreme emotional and the financial stress this puts on you both.

Much Love


Thanks! It is true so many things we just don’t go to the doctor for when we really should.

Especially since we were taken to court over a 3+ year old hospital bill when Steve had pneumonia and no job or insurance at all.. yet we don’t qualified for any assistance through them and because we have no children under 18, no one will offer help. My state did not expand Medicaid benefits.

We literally can’t afford to take good care of ourselves medically.

It’s just pure population control when it comes right down to it.

Hugs!!!
